Godzilla Review

Godzilla was a thoroughly entertaining movie. For me, it was a smart movie. This is how the military should react when confronted with oversize monsters wrecking havoc on their city. Of course, they're not going to listen to the scientist who knows best, but still it was well-written and well-acted.My only beef was the overlay of cheesy music swelling every time Godzilla hit the screen (enough! already) but overall, entertaining, and the monster fights were done well (without going overboard).

This movie played some good psychological games with your mind as remnants of Jurassic Park came to mind as some scenes played out much like they did in that movie (cue to scene of men lying silently on train track as monster roars by beside). People died, people were saved and everyone cheered at the end.
